How do I not get blisters on my thumb when playing tennis?

Blisters on the thumb are a common problem for tennis players. They are caused by friction between the thumb and the racket grip. There are a few things you can do to prevent blisters from forming.

1. Use a proper grip. The way you hold the racket can affect the amount of friction on your thumb. Make sure you are using a grip that is comfortable and does not put too much pressure on your thumb.

2. Wear gloves. Gloves can help to reduce friction between your thumb and the racket grip. Look for gloves that are made of a material that is breathable and moisture-wicking.

3. Use tape. You can also use tape to protect your thumb from blisters. Apply tape to the area of your thumb that is most likely to rub against the racket grip.

4. Moisturize your hands. Keeping your hands moisturized can help to prevent blisters from forming. Apply a moisturizer to your hands before you play tennis.

5. Take breaks. If you start to feel a blister forming, take a break from playing. This will give your thumb a chance to rest and heal.
